JACKSON, Tenn. A local student is now the recipient of a prestigious scholarship.
Thursday, representatives from the U.S. Navy and Jackson City government, helped present Madison Academic senior Serenity Williams with one of the most prestigious ROTC scholarships in the country, worth $180,000.
Williams comes from a military family, and expressed excitement about the honor.
“Everything I’ve known was military. I’ve been on Fleet Week, I’ve been in the submarines, I’ve been in the ships, torpedoes. You name it, I was there,” Serenity Williams said.
The scholarship will pay for her tuition and expenses in the ROTC program at Florida A&M University.
